The whole damn point of this scene is that Jafar tricks him into going.. since he.. isn't revealed as the big evil baddie but rather some random old prisoner who convinces Aladdin they need to work together.

Honestly I don't see why it would matter. The original Aladdin used professional singers for when Aladdin and Jasmine sing. Wish Disney would stop trying to make actors sing when they clearly aren't up to the task, that's how we we end up with this disgraceful display:

The use of autotune for Emma Watson is so bad. She sounds like a machine at times.

Not saying that Artemis Fowl will make more money than Aladdin (that will never happen) but I'm struggling to think of a Disney released media with a higher percentage of dislikes on YouTube, is there one?

Disney's marketing team is going to have a real job on their hands turning around the negative buzz that now surrounds this film. When the central character/image in your film's marketing (and the star) becomes a meme you know you're in trouble.

It doesn’t matter?! The whole reason these fuckwits stated that they didn’t go with an actress with ties to the MENA, was becuse they couldn’t find someone that could sing properly. Which by the way, is one the biggest loads of shit I’ve heard. Couldn’t find one Middle Eastern/North African actress that could sing? Fuck you Disney.

The movie comes out in three months and as others have said, they've wrapped the effects stuff. Unless Disney either

1) purposefully used old unfinished footage
or
2) does some *insane* 11th hour crunch time

it's not going to get better.

If it's number 1, maybe they've had this teaser ready to launch for months and for whatever scheduling reason were only able to put it out now. Or maybe they knew the reaction to Smith as Genie would be bad so they used old footage to get people's bitching out of the way so they could wow us with the actual completed footage when the full trailer drops (though this doesn't explain why all the other VFX shots also look like shit). If it's number 2, may God have mercy on all those poor VFX artists.

The movie itself could very well be good, and I agree about Smith putting his own spin on it (the only way they could ever hope to redo Genie is to go in a totally different direction) but the effects are probably going to be abysmal. That lava sequence looks ripped out of a Spy Kids movie.
